If the truth is indistinguishable from the unknowable, then I see no validity in believing it to be the case until such time as actual proof is found.
It may be the truth that universe creating pixies exist. However, my willingness to believe that is the case says absolutely nothing about the truth value of said belief. I think I would be quite mistaken to place faith in the truth of the pixies' existence until I am presented with good reason to justify such a position.
Would you be willing to believe I have a 50 foot, fire breathing dragon in my garage? If not, why?
